Team is fine for the weekend, coin toss for the captaincy really.

KO!

Neither of them are going anywhere.

In my opinion your best course of action is to completely ignore your rivals' teams and just play it as you see it.

I replied dude! Go read it!

7.9 mid. Ramires. Ramsey. Decent picks IMO.

Modric could be a good pick, or Ramires..both have major doubts as far as FF potential is concerned though

8.3 is an annoying price for a forward, just short on Ade there.

The answer's in the donuts, but unfortunately Adebaby bigged himself up to 8.4 already, la. Maybe punt a grunt on Welbeck? He's heating up!

Cabaye plays too deep imo

As a newcastle fan, I think Cabaye is absolute class, but as Jack said, he does sometimes play a bit deep. he likes to be pulling the strings. Most of his shots are from distance which look spectacular but as yet have not been successful. I'm sure he'll get the odd screamer now and again, but cant see him scoring that many. Has a very good assist potential though, providing we can keep scoring enough goals. He's on set pieces/corners, can see us scoring a few goals from his parried shots.

Of the four, I'm making eyes at Ade. Young keeps winking at me though...

trivia: adebayor has scored more braces for tottenham than suarez has for liverpool

There's a risk Young could be on the bench IMO. Plays full 90 midweek and they have Park and Valencia both pushing for starts.

Aguero for sure - who you captaining?

I would hold him. Not worth a transfer, he may play this week and he will miss one tops.

Any other star player got told he would miss one game thru injury or resting you wouldn't drop him.

Save the transfer. Two freebies for the international break is always handy.

As a Spurs fan, I never really trust Lennon. Twinkly chicken legs running about, and then he spoons the cross into the stands most of the time.

There's not much out there in that bracket so he could be a popular option, but he always seems to me to flatter to deceive as an FPL pick.

Good Team..Save your transfer

I don't like the whole Modric/Ramsey thing personally!

6 dogs, 2 chickens, a dead fish, 3 turtles with their heads cut off, 2 parrots, and a toothless goat.

Although I think the fact that Balotelli came on and scored whilst Dzeko had looked ineffectual has probably made his decision easier, whilst punishing Dzeko at the same time.

You are clutching at straws.

Even without that comment I shipped him out, the comment has just added reinforcement to that move.

He plays wide right of their front 3 (Mata on the left and usually Torres central).

With Torres out for the next 3 games Drogba is widely tipped to start in the CF spot although Anelka and Sturridge are both possibilities. Sturridge will also be contending with Anelka, Malouda, Kalou and perhaps Lukaku for the wide right berth.

I'm not sure on his game time, he hasn't been amazing of late and I think Malouda was impressive last night. He's a gamble at best imo.

With Torres out for three game weeks this must be his time to cement a place. If not the safer but potentially lower scoring options will still be there.

I for one,have been pitching players I feel may drop,but my squads now worth 103

I agree, there is a template squad developing in my mini league too but I don't think it has anything to do with price rises or falls.

I just think the pool of "in-demand" players has been meagre thus far. Up until GW6 I think it was pretty much the same group of players getting the best points. The Rooney-Aguero effect.

In the gameweek the two of those players scored hattricks, 12 out of the 20 teams in my mini league had one of them as captain and quite a few of those teams had both players.

Probably because there aren't that many players scoring well so those that do, everyone will get them in.

Probably partly because the players doing well are the obvious ones, regardless of fixtures e.g. Rooney, Aguero, Silva, Nani The advantage of people on here of "playing the fixtures" is not yet paying off. E.g. at the start of the season the smart thing appeared to be to get Villa players (e.g. Bent, NZogbia) but these have done nothing while Man Utd have thrived despite a poor set of fixtures on paper.

So now, people who normally "play the fixtures" are just having to get players like those above just like the casual players have already got anyway.

Another factor is that more people have discovered this site now due to the link up with FPL. I know for a fact that a few in our league have started using it whereas they didn't last season.

I think its to do with sites like this - (and totalfpl) + ffs being now 'the pundit' on site, the field has really narrowed unfortunately and I think its just cos people are more clued up / eager to go with a generic RMT.

Event scoutpicks is (even if waaaay over budget) terribly obvious these days.

I would..

Arse. I've only just got used to this one.

I saw on Coral earlier that Norwich were 16/1 to beat a potentially Rooney-less MU at the weekend. Totally unlikely obviously but if BoyleS have similar odds, perhaps worth the punt? Stranger things have happened......

Tevez hattrick this weekend?

Stick it on Chelsea and buy yourself a half. 😉 Ooh, pint up there you lucky devil.

oh yes.

Dzeko-Drogba
Rooney-Aguero

Brunt out.

i know he's one of their better players but he'll cause you more grief than joy with his form. at least SWP will get you some points from goals or BP's

1) i would wait till tomorrow, but fergie rarely lets much slip if its a 'maybe'
2) no - he is awful and balo will start
3) tbh - i've bought it 2 years in a row and only used it 3 times - the data isn't really involved enough or suited to fpl

Sounds good. What's the news on Welbeck starting?

if it's not gonna hurt you, go for it! It could pay off VDV has scored in the last 2 against Arsenal I believe. With Defoe out, he'll be right behind Bayor. It's not a crazy thought, however, I'm going Nani
